Standards Implementation

School CSforAll Resource & Implementation Planning Tools (SCRIPT)

SCRIPT is a 2-day workshop that guides participants in the creation of personalized, district-specific CS4RI implementation plans through collaborative self-assessment of local needs, capacity, and goals for computer science education. District teams work together through facilitator-led exercises that focus on:

Developing and expanding district CS vision;

Accessing CS materials and curriculum;

Pathway planning and goal setting;

Building and supporting teacher capacity; and

Networking with partners and community.

Workshop materials include planning tools and rubrics that will help attendees assess, prioritize, and develop realistic plans that reflect the unique needs and goals at the local level.

At the end of the 2-day workshop, district teams have an action plan that will identify 3- and 6-month goals as well as establish a long-term plan for developing pathways for students.

The CS curricula that are available through the CS4RI matrix partners; and

Specific strategies for broadening participation in computer science.

A districtwide plan is developed during the workshop. With this in mind, successful teams have recruited a 4-6 person team that includes district leadership (superintendent or assistant superintendent), curriculum developers (district level coordinators), school leadership (principals or assistant principals), and teachers from different level schools (elementary, middle, or high).

It is suggested that two teachers from different schools in the district attend. Substitute reimbursement grants are available to help districts defray the costs of sending teachers to the SCRIPT workshop.
